The U.S. economy currently doesn’t measure up to some Distributionist or Austrian or any other economic ideal. But we still need to know how it works in its current state of being, however flawed it may be. In my opinion, Dalio’s video does an excellent job of explaining how the economy works as things are right now. It’s not perfect (it relies on a few too many Keynesian assumptions for my taste) but I think it’s one of the most useful explanations currently in circulation.
